Changing Golan Heights status without UN SC would defy its resolutions "Lavrov"
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.
Moscow - TASS
Changing the status of the Golan Heights in sidestepping the UN Security Council would come in direct violation of its resolutions, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told journalists on Wednesday.
"The status of the Golan Heights is determined by UN Security Council resolutions," he reiterated. "I think that changing the status in bypassing the Security Council would be a direct violation of these resolutions," he added.
Israel took control over the Golan Heights that had belonged by Syria from 1944 after the Six-Day War in 1967. In 1981, Israel’s Knesset (parliament) passed a law on the Golan Heights unilaterally proclaiming Israel’s sovereignty over this territory. United Nations Security Council Resolution 497 of December 17, 1981 ruled that the annexation was null and void, having no international legal effect.
The Israeli leadership has repeatedly said the Golan Heights will forever remain under the control of the Jewish state.

The first"Paris Fashion Week" Chanel channels the beach to end season
Paris - Arab Today
An autumnal chill is in the air in Paris, but Karl Lagerfeld managed to spirit the Paris Fashion Week crowd away to an idyllic beachscape. With a click of his gloved fingers, Chanel’s eccentric couturier transformed the inside of the Grand Palais into a sunny Saint Tropez beach for his celebrity-filled spring-summer runway display. A real sandy beach and wooden huts awaited surprised guests, as water lapped a shore in frothy waves. Here are some highlights: CHANEL At Chanel’s show, Pharrell Williams laughed as he pulled his wife Helen Lasichanh across the life-size beach to their seats, while model Ines de la Fressange exclaimed: “Shall we go for a swim?” as she wandered amid the scene. For the 15-minute show, Chanel whisked fashion insiders far away from the bustle of the nearby Champs-Elysees. Slack-jawed VIP guests, fatigued from
